What is a cubic yard per minute used to measure?

It measures the rate of volumetric flow, typically used for large-scale liquid or bulk material movement such as pump discharge or sediment removal.

Why convert cubic yard/minute to liter/minute?

Converting to liter/minute allows flow rates to be expressed in metric units, which are common in medical, laboratory, and process equipment applications.

Can this conversion be applied in both engineering and medical fields?

Yes, the conversion is useful across civil, marine engineering for large volumes and in medical or laboratory contexts for smaller, precise flows.
